I found this little nightstand at Goodwill. My daughter has a dresser very similar to this style.

It was a little dirty and the top was scratched up. I gave it a good clean and sanded and painted just the top. Maybe one day I will re-paint the whole thing a different color and the dresser too, but for right now I like this original color and details.

Here it is in Kate's room all cleaned up and with freshly coated top.

and her dresser which was one of my first "finds" when I really started getting into the garage sale / thrift store thing.

The paint was more leftover from my kitchen cabinets, and the fabric was an old IKEA shower curtain.

My other goodwill painted chairs are at the table by the window, it's my new sewing place for more summer projects!

I also made some pillow covers using the shower curtain fabric. I got this idea from this post to use the holes that were for the shower curtain rings in place of button holes. So after cutting to size and sewing on 3 sides then I just had to sew on the buttons, these were super quick to make!
